Bill overview
This bill, the Service Assurance Act of 2020, provides liability protection for nonprofit organizations during the COVID-19 public health emergency. It shields these organizations from legal responsibility for harm caused by exposure to or infection with the virus, except in cases of intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence, or reckless disregard for safety. The bill aims to encourage nonprofits to continue providing essential services without fear of excessive legal repercussions. It also preempts state laws that contradict this federal protection.
